/*
 * UBI input/output sub-system.
 *
 * This sub-system provides a uniform way to work with all kinds of the
 * underlying MTD devices. It also implements handy functions for reading and
 * writing UBI headers.
 *
 * We are trying to have a paranoid mindset and not to trust to what we read
 * from the flash media in order to be more secure and robust. So this
 * sub-system validates every single header it reads from the flash media.
 *
 * Some words about how the eraseblock headers are stored.
 *
 * The erase counter header is always stored at offset zero. By default, the
 * VID header is stored after the EC header at the closest aligned offset
 * (i.e. aligned to the minimum I/O unit size). Data starts next to the VID
 * header at the closest aligned offset. But this default layout may be
 * changed. For example, for different reasons (e.g., optimization) UBI may be
 * asked to put the VID header at further offset, and even at an unaligned
 * offset. Of course, if the offset of the VID header is unaligned, UBI adds
 * proper padding in front of it. Data offset may also be changed but it has to
 * be aligned.
 *
 * About minimal I/O units. In general, UBI assumes flash device model where
 * there is only one minimal I/O unit size. E.g., in case of NOR flash it is 1,
 * in case of NAND flash it is a NAND page, etc. This is reported by MTD in the
 * @ubi->mtd->writesize field. But as an exception, UBI admits of using another
 * (smaller) minimal I/O unit size for EC and VID headers to make it possible
 * to do different optimizations.
 *
 * This is extremely useful in case of NAND flashes which admit of several
 * write operations to one NAND page. In this case UBI can fit EC and VID
 * headers at one NAND page. Thus, UBI may use "sub-page" size as the minimal
 * I/O unit for the headers (the @ubi->hdrs_min_io_size field). But it still
 * reports NAND page size (@ubi->min_io_size) as a minimal I/O unit for the UBI
 * users.
 *
 * Example: some Samsung NANDs with 2KiB pages allow 4x 512-byte writes, so
 * although the minimal I/O unit is 2K, UBI uses 512 bytes for EC and VID
 * headers.
 *
 * Q: why not just to treat sub-page as a minimal I/O unit of this flash
 * device, e.g., make @ubi->min_io_size = 512 in the example above?
 *
 * A: because when writing a sub-page, MTD still writes a full 2K page but the
 * bytes which are not relevant to the sub-page are 0xFF. So, basically,
 * writing 4x512 sub-pages is 4 times slower than writing one 2KiB NAND page.
 * Thus, we prefer to use sub-pages only for EC and VID headers.
 *
 * As it was noted above, the VID header may start at a non-aligned offset.
 * For example, in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with a 512 bytes sub-page,
 * the VID header may reside at offset 1984 which is the last 64 bytes of the
 * last sub-page (EC header is always at offset zero). This causes some
 * difficulties when reading and writing VID headers.
 *
 * Suppose we have a 64-byte buffer and we read a VID header at it. We change
 * the data and want to write this VID header out. As we can only write in
 * 512-byte chunks, we have to allocate one more buffer and copy our VID header
 * to offset 448 of this buffer.
 *
 * The I/O sub-system does the following trick in order to avoid this extra
 * copy. It always allocates a @ubi->vid_hdr_alsize bytes buffer for the VID
 * header and returns a pointer to offset @ubi->vid_hdr_shift of this buffer.
 * When the VID header is being written out, it shifts the VID header pointer
 * back and writes the whole sub-page.
